Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation’s own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
